I assure you this is the correct answer. I am a recently retired international competitor in target archery, so I do know a thing or two about the equipment.

But the bad news is 55# peak draw weight on a compound is still quite high for a completely untrained beginner archer. It's much more attainable than the 70# your bow is probably set to from the factory, but jumping straight to 55# is potentially hazardous for your shoulders. Even on a compound with letoff, it's better to learn on a starter bow around 30# or 40# for an adult male, and then ramp up to 50-55# once the technique is learned and settled.
